This wasn't on our cameras, because they had shut down for dawn just minutes before. But I've received a lot of witness reports because of all the Denver news coverage. This was a large, but not extraordinary fireball. All the attention here is just because it happened at commute hour and a lot of people saw it. There were at least five fireballs over Colorado last night, including a very impressive one at 03:37 that was caught on three cameras.
Most reports have been from along the Front Range, and generally all point in the same direction. Comparing those with reports from Crested Butte and Silt suggests this terminated somewhere north of the Grand Mesa. Can't do much better than that with what I've got so far. Some of the news sources out west will probably pick up on the story tonight and tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get more reports from that direction. It was seen as far west as Salt Lake City. Both western witnesses saw it break up while it was traveling slowly enough to glow orange. That means it could have dropped some meteorites. Not much chance of finding anything, however, except by blind luck.
